Repinique 12'' x 30 cm Pro - 12 rods
For Samba-Reggae fans!
The repinique with 12 rods for high tunings by Contemporanea Pro features a particularly thick-walled and rustic aluminum shell, providing powerful calls and plenty of volume. Thicker instruments like this one from Contemporanea Pro have more power in the sound. Additionally, this repinique is equipped with 12 tension rods, which allows for a particularly high tuning, as they better distribute the pressure across the shell. The sound is excellent, but the instrument is slightly heavier due to the additional hardware.

Contemporânea
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Brazil
This brand has a long tradition and good reputation in Brazil. Intensive contact to the musicians has always been an important part of their business strategy. They not only sell instruments, but mainly live their music. Every Saturday morning, many musicians meet up in CONTEMPORÂNEA´S music shop in the historic center of São Paulo. In a special back room, musicians of every age play Choro. The pagodeiros meet up in front of the shop for playing their sessions. Many of São Paulo´s smaller and larger Samba schools play CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments.
CONTEMPORÂNEA in Europe
Also in Europe CONTEMPORÂNEA is a popular brand which you sometimes even find in drum- and percussion shops that don´t have so much to do with Samba.
Instruments
CONTEMPORÂNEA has two lines: CONTEMPORÂNEA LIGHT and CONTEMPORÂNEA PRO.
The instruments of the LIGHT line are made of matt aluminium. Kept in a simple design and not being polished, the LIGHT line can be offered at a lower price and without suffering quality loss in terms of sound or durability. The robust PRO line is made of polished aluminium or wood.
Compared to other brands that also use aluminium for building instruments, CONTEMPORÂNEA instruments made from aluminium stand out by being built of thicker material which provides a massive sound to repinique, caixa and surdo, but therefore also a higher weight.

Pro
Feels great to play! I’m very pleased. This is a bit heavier than other models due to the extra lugs, but I think it’s worth it to get the pro feel and sound. Sits nicely between legs when worn with strap.
